<p><span>Hello all,</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>For the past 8 months I've been producing a documentary for CET, the Cincinnati PBS Member Station about the historic renovation of Cincinnati's Music Hall. Known throughout the country as one of the countries most well known concert venues, Music Hall is home to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Opera, and Ballet. For 16 months, the doors of Music Hall will close, as a historic renovation process ensues. CET will document this process with compelling interviews and stunning visuals that provides the audience a seat at the table where decisions are made and progress is monitored. Below is the first trailer of four. I'd appreciate any thoughts and feedback. Thanks!<br/><br/>Don</span></p>

<p>Dear Friends,<br/><br/><br/>I’m very excited to share that Off the Menu: Asian America, a new documentary I produced and directed premieres nationally on PBS next Tuesday Dec. 8. Please check your local TV listings for exact airdates.<br/><br/>Thanks to all of you who have been supportive of this project over the past year. It’s been an incredible experience both filming and sharing the film with audiences around the country who have wholeheartedly embraced the breadth and complexity of Asian American stories. I’m especially proud about the segment that features the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin and how its tradition of langar, the weekly communal meal, helped members in the healing process following the mass shooting there in 2012. <br/><br/><br/>Please share the broadcast info with your friends, family, organizations and anyone you know who has ever taken a picture of their food. Below are some sample posts but feel free to create your own. The companion website to the film features a trailer, recipes and is right here:<br/><br/><a href="http://caamedia.org/offthemenu%C2%A0%C2%A0">http://caamedia.org/offthemenu </a>; <br/><br/><br/>PBS Premiere:<br/> <br/>Facebook:<br/>There are more Chinese restaurants in the US than Burger King, MacDonald's and KFC's combined!

<p></p>
<p><span>With a deadly wasting disease killing West Coast starfish by the millions, Katie Campbell's story took views to Alaska where researchers are trying to determine whether starfish in colder waters might escape the die-off. "This piece was about far more than starfish," said judge David Baron, former science editor for PRI's "The World." "By showing how biologists painstakingly collect data to understand the natural world, the story beautifully demonstrates what it means to be a scientist." The judges praised the Gold Award winner as an excellent example of strong, local science reporting. "Being recognized by AAAS and Kavli is an incredible honor," Campbell said. "I'm ecstatic to be included among this elite group of science journalists. This award also brings well-earned recognition to the important work being done by researchers on the front lines of the massive sea star wasting epidemic."</span></p>Off the Menu: Asian America - airs on PBS Dec 8, 2015tag:producersworkshop.pbs.org,2015-09-15:5817956:BlogPost:380172015-09-15T23:23:20.000ZGrace Leehttp://producersworkshop.pbs.org/profile/GraceLee

<p>I was recently was honored with a Los Angeles Emmy Award in the Arts, Culture/History category for "Mia, a dancer's journey."

Since then, the film has aired nationally on PBS stations and won many awards. I am so happy to share this Emmy news with my fellow Producer's Academy alumni. Thank you CPB/PBS and WGBH! …</p>

I moved back to Albany six months ago to take a job as the new VP, Production at WMHT. I really miss the dirty hands one gets in field production but I'm learning a lot about managing a team and how to handle the financial side of production, which is very important as well. I'm trying to stay comfortable with change and I seem to have no shortage of things to do, from strategic planning and community events to project development and fundraising (and sneaking in some hands-on work in production when I can). I'm Executive Producing a number of local productions, which include some documentary films that I'm very excited about. I know that the opportunities I've had over the last would not have been possible without the Workshops. It was a big talking point during my interviews and really helped to distinguish me from the pack. Thank you again!</p>

<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So, here's an update from me: After a great year long festival run, we premiered A FRAGILE TRUST on <em>Independent Lens</em> last May. Alongside our national broadcast, we also launched our interactive journalism game, <a href="http://www.decisionsondeadline.com" target="_blank">DECISIONS ON DEADLINE</a> too!

With an intimate observational style, this short film reflects the complexity of what it means to welcome inevitable change while attempting, in part, to stay the same.

After years of journalism in the US, Africa, and Central America, he focused at the end of his life on Catch the Next (CTN), a nonprofit he founded to foster college success and graduation for at-risk students – something we all felt was a true reflection of his generous nature and his unerring focus on what was most important. The foundation is a lasting memorial to John, and where you might like to offer any contributions in his memory. <a href="http://catchthenext.org/donate/">http://catchthenext.org/donate/</a>. </p>The Immortalists in Dallas and Chicagotag:producersworkshop.pbs.org,2015-01-09:5817956:BlogPost:363612015-01-09T22:30:00.000ZDavid Alvaradohttp://producersworkshop.pbs.org/profile/DavidAlvarado

<p><strong>Here is the latest press about the film:&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>“The fountain of youth is engagingly appraised in "The Immortalists," a lively documentary focusing on a pair of very different biomedical scientists who are equally obsessed with eradicating the ravages of time.”</p>
<p>- LA TIMES</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“This sly documentary rises above its speculative hook by shifting to show the very human, and very mortal, sides of these would-be warriors of eternity.”</p>
<p>- THE NEW YORK TIMES</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The Immortalists is a brilliantly bizarre, endearingly quaint, and fascinating documentary.”</p>
<p>-HUFFINGTON POST</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“A very well-mounted film, with outstanding contributions in Alvarado’s cinematography and Eric Andrew Kuhn’s subtly expressive score.”&nbsp;</p>
<p>-ROGER EBERT.COM</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“An absorbing documentary… top ten most anticipated films at SXSW”</p>
<p>-INDIEWIRE</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“thought-provoking topic with enough screen appeal to draw audiences beyond the fest circuit.”</p>
<p>THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“I love the hook… ‘top 25 picks for SXSW’”</p>
<p>-FILMMAKER MAGAZINE</p>

<p>-TORONTO FILM SCENE</p>
<p></p>
<p>“Top 10 Documentaries at Hot Docs”</p>
<p>MOVIEPHONE</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“It’s beautifully constructed... very reminiscent of Errol Morris’&nbsp;Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control. Yep, it’s that good… The Immortalists is fascinating from start to finish.”</p>
<p>-PRETTY CLEVER FILMS</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The Immortalists&nbsp;is really a film about death, not life, which is what makes it so fascinating.”</p>

<p>This is the rambling saga of how I finished my short documentary POUSTINIA on artist Gendron Jensen - "the bone man" - someone I've known since I was a kid growing up in Northern Minnesota - Gendron draws bones - exquisitely detailed realistic drawings. His medium is graphite on paper and, more recently, stone lithography. Its initial screening was June 2013 (at a retrospective exhibit in our home town of Grand Rapids, Minnesota). I first started shooting video with Gendron back in 1977 when I was a senior in high school - on b/w reel to reel Sony videotape. He had just finished illustrating Robert Bly's book "This Body is Made of Camphor and Gopherwood" with images of freshwater snails. But all of that footage was lost. </p>
<p>Fast forward 20-some years - I started on the project in earnest right before attending the WGBH workshop in 2003... but it was not my project then... it was first a project initiated by two upstate NY filmmakers who wanted to do a feature length doc on Gendron. When I heard about it I volunteered to work on the project and started organizing shoots whenever Gendron would come back to Minnesota (he had moved to New Mexico in 1987) The filmmakers never raised any money and I was paying for my shoots myself - so nothing happened. And after years of the tapes sitting on a shelf I got the chance in 2012 to shoot with Gendron in New Mexico on high def and so I resolved to go ahead and finish a short. I had already found a great editor - had musicians lined up who wanted to contribute - and everything just came together. Anyway - here is much of the full story -</p>

<p>Last June I worked out a deal just as I was finishing the edit for screening fee from an art center that was mounting a retrospective show of Gendron's work in our home town of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. The day I left to attend the screening I dropped an entry form and DVD in the mail to the Woodstock Film Festival. We were accepted and in October 2013 won the jury prize for Best Short Documentary - with none other than Oscar winning director Leon Gast ("When We Were Kings"), Emmy winning director Lisa Gossels ("The Children of Chabannes" and"My So-Called Enemy") and Paul Rachman ("American Hardcore, co-founder Slamdance Film Festival) on the jury! Since then POUSTINIA has screened at a half dozen festivals including the Taos Shortz Film Fest and Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival - and in April we won the audience award for Best Short Documentary at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival - a monster of a fest running 16 days with over 250 films... now mulling where to take the film next.
